As more residential and commercial property owners look to incorporate "green" technology into their buildings, finding an experienced contractor who is well-versed in the field will take less time. The green building industry is growing by leaps and bounds.

A new McGraw-Hill Construction survey has found that green building have become a long-term business opportunity and 51 percent of construction firms are planning to dedicate more than 60 percent of their work to green projects by 2015.

The global construction market is viewing "green" projects as the future for the industry and a business opportunity, instead of a small niche market.

"This research confirms that green building advances environmental stewardship while providing value to the market," said Geraud Darnis, president and CEO, United Technologies Climate, Controls & Security. "It also confirms that we now see more pull than push for green buildings."

According to the study, construction firms are claiming that client demand (35 percent) and market demand (33 percent) are two key drivers for the switch to green building practices.

As a result of this trend, technologies that support "greening" efforts are increasingly becoming popular. For example, more residential and commercial property owners are considering how utility services like radiant floor heating can reduce energy expenses and improve the quality of life of those that use the space. Radiant floor heating can easily sustain warmth levels so that a structure remains comfortable throughout the day and night. In addition, the hot water traveling through the pipes is highly insulated and does not require a boiler or heater to constantly run – reducing energy expenses.

Performance Beyond Our Expectations

This fall/winter however, we brought [Warmboard] online and have been optimizing and dialing it in throughout the season. The system has performed beyond our expectations and has produced one of the most stable and comfortable living environments that I have encountered. … With no prior experience with radiant heating prior to this project, we are happy with what we were able to put together. Thanks for all your help. Your company was a pleasure to work with. - Clayton K., Louisiana

Welcome to Warmboard, Simply Smarter Radiant Heat

Warmboard was invented in 1992 by Architect and entrepreneur Terry Alsberg. It has since become one of the fastest growing and most popular radiant heating systems. Two things drive growth and popularity of Warmboard:

More comfortable radiant floor heating

Warmboard adjusts its radiant heat output to quickly match changing heat loads throughout the day and night. This gives you the exact feeling of warmth you desire from a radiant floor heat system. The goal of any radiant floor heating system is to ensure that the temperature that you feel in your home is exactly the temperature you desire, and to maintain this ideal comfort minute by minute, hour by hour. No other radiant heat system can match the precise control and fast response of a low mass Warmboard radiant heat system.

More energy efficient radiant floor heating

Warmboard is simply more conductive compared to all the other radiant heat systems. The job of a radiant heat system is to conduct heat from water in a tube to the surface of a radiant floor. This is why in radiant floor heating, conductivity is king. It is a simple law of physics that as conductivity goes up, water temperature goes down. It always saves money to heat water to a lower temperature, and therefore Warmboard is more energy efficient than all other radiant heat systems.
